Important information for anyone who uses script mods (Patreon)
Content
There have been multiple instances now of creator accounts being hacked, and some script mods being updated to contain an exe file that is intended to run in the background and steal stored passwords and such. The user accounts that were hacked were on CurseForge, The Sims Resource, and Mod The Sims. Please see these posts for more information:

You can also open your task manager and check for the following things running: main.exe, python.exe & updater.exe
*and I'm not sure if I need to mention this, but just in case: this doesn't affect any of my CC. Everything I make are package files which are something different than script mods. They are also direct downloads posted by myself only here on Patreon, and also on my Tumblr which has direct links to SimFileShare and Mega (as a mirror).
